This is my final post in my brief series of posts on John Street, the Head of Counseling at The Master's University and Seminary (TMUS), which is attached to Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California, USA, pastored by John MacArthur.
John Street: "We learn His faithfulness through all those hardships. In most abusive counseling you don't hear that, because most abuse counselors will be very quick to get that person to escape and not teach them God's faithfulness or the importance of their faithfulness in living out Christianity even in the midst of severe affliction."
John Street: "When a woman sets boundaries with an abusive husband, such as moving out and keeping her location secret, it just enrages her abuser and precludes any kind of restoration."
John Street: "The situation often becomes so violent couples can't live together. Then couples grow apart while separated and reunification becomes less likely."
My Comment
John Street's counsel is unbiblical and very dangerous. His views should be warned against!!
This guy is a piece of work. Wife beaters never respect boundaries. "Moving out and keeping one's location secret" is not "setting boundaries." It's self-preservation, something our Creator advocates for.
